Abstract :
The main objective of this study entails the analysis of the dividend trend for the period between 1990 and 2006 in order to provide evidence on the relevance of dividends among Malaysian firms and investors. The ascending time-series of aggregate dividend, average dividend and number of payers imply that dividend is very much relevant among Malaysian companies.
